Charles Ellicott Commentary Ecclesiastes 12:1

"Remember also thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;" — Ecclesiastes 12:1 (ASV)

Creator: This occurs as a Divine name in Isaiah 40:23, Isaiah 44:15, and elsewhere. Here it is in the plural, like the Divine name Elohim. (See also Note on Ecclesiastes 12:8.) We have thy Maker in the plural in Job 35:10, Psalms 149:2, and Isaiah 54:5; and Holy One in Proverbs 9:10, Proverbs 30:3, and Hosea 11:12.
